Where the food data comes from

The supermarket foods you can search in FIVIT, the Dutch and German products, come from Open Food Facts, a free database built by volunteers.

Food data © Open Food Facts contributors, available under the Open Database License. FIVIT's copy is a derived database, so it is offered under the same licence.

The table FIVIT searches, and the script that builds it from the Open Food Facts export, are free to download: github.com/AteekshL/fivit-store-foods.

Other sources

Generic foods (an egg, a cup of rice) come from USDA FoodData Central, which is in the public domain. Barcode lookups go to Open Food Facts directly.
